The Asia-Australia Arts Centre will present My Chinatown, an exhibition showcasing Sydney Chinatown over the last 150 years.

My Chinatown explores Sydney’s Chinatown and the local community from an historical and contemporary perspective. Photographs from the City of Sydney archives, dating from the 1890s, reflect Chinatown in the turn of the century. Other photographs from community members provide personal reflections of what it was like to be Chinese-Australian. Photographs of Quong Tart are also included. Sound recordings of interviews with Chinese Community leaders give an intimate history of growing up in Chinatown in the 1950s and 60s. While contemporary portraits of Chinese Australians by renowned photographer William Yang brings Chinatown into today’s relevance.
